Music: Luke Morley
Transcribed: Jim Barrow

This is my attempt at tabbing (or at least chording) this excellent song.
Just one note- watch the end of the second verse- the little fill is absent
there.

Intro [Acoustic only]

|A minorAm		|Asus4Asus4 A minorAm	|A minorAm		|Asus4Asus4 A minorAm

Verse 1

A minorAm			  C majorC
I look in the mirror, I stand 185

D MajorD			  E minorEm  C majorC   G+G	   C majorC  A minorAm	Asus4Asus4 A minorAm
I'm glad I'm not too short, I'm glad that I'm alive

A minorAm				  C majorC
Cos sometimes on a bad day I got no self-esteem

D MajorD			E minorEm	  C majorC	  G+G	  C majorC  A minorAm		Asus4Asus4 A minorAm
Especially when I see those shiny color magazines

Chorus 1

G+G			  DmDm
Lord, you know I can see the picture now

	 FF					  A minorAm
Of the transformation they could do for me

C majorC				 G+G					 DmDm
If I was dumb enough I'd pick up that phone and get in line,

		  E minorEm		 C majorC	  G+G	  C majorC		A minorAm	Asus4Asus4 A minorAm
And they could stretch my sallow skin until it shines

Verse 2

A minorAm		  C majorC
Desire and envy welling up in your heart

D MajorD		   E minorEm   C majorC    G+G		C majorC	   A minorAm	Asus4Asus4 A minorAm
You wanna take a hammer to your next door neighbours car

A minorAm					 C majorC
So you dream of the good life, and how the fantasy burns

D MajorD				E minorEm C majorC	 G+G	   C majorC  A minorAm
Makes you gamble on the TV but you never ever learn

Chorus 2 [Electric kicks in on the fills at the end]

G+G				  DmDm
One in a million is better odds than you got

	 FF						  A minorAm
But you still believe that this could be the one

C majorC				   G+G				  DmDm
Why don't you just relax and try to conceive the perfect crime

	   E minorEm	 C majorC	 G+G	  C majorC	   A minorAm	Asus4Asus4 A minorAm	Asus4Asus4 A minorAm
Or you can rub your lucky charm until it shines

Verse 3 [Electric plays the fill (funky feel), while the acoustic plays A minorAm
for the whole verse]

You spent your hard earned money on a house of cards


Not knowing which way the wind would blow


Invested all your loving on a crazy whim


And there's no telling where she'll go

Chorus 3

G+G								 DmDm
So you spend your time dreaming, thinking how it used to be

	 G+G
Til you come to know the meaning of regret

  G+G								  DmDm			A minorAm
You convince yourself that everythings going how it ought to be in your head

	 E minorEm C majorC	  G+G	  C majorC	   A minorAm
You're polishing the dirt until it shines

Instrumental

|A minorAm		|A minorAm		|A minorAm		|A minorAm
|DmDm		|G+G		|DmDm		|A minorAm
|DmDm		|G+G		|E MajorE		|E7E7
|DmDm		|G+G		|DmDm		|A minorAm
|DmDm		|G+G		|E MajorE		|E7E7

Outro [Back to acoustic]

A minorAm				  C majorC
All that we're praying for it ain't always what we find

D MajorD		   E minorEm	 C majorC	  G+G	  C majorC	  A minorAm
So all of us sit waiting for the sun until it shines


The fill goes something like this (it helps if you listen to the CD for the
exact timing).
